About MeMy name is Pat and, I can barely change my own oil. That is to say that I know just about nothing when it comes to mechanics. I have also never even seen a prerruner in real life. I live in Idaho but currently work in Afghanistan. I always loved reading and looking at pics of prerruners. Well one day I was offered a job that paid me over 6x what I was making. So I paid off all my bills and thought Im going to buy a SVT Raptor. Then I thought well I donít want to get crazy and spend all my money when I have a perfectly great 05 f150 at home waiting for me. So I decided that I would put a wide body kit and paint for about $7k into my truck and call it a day. Well then after I saw how wide the kit was I had to buy a suspension set up that would widen the stance. Then I was told I would need bigger tires so it didnít look dumb. Then new gears for the bigger tires and more power so CIA and exhaust. Lol so any ways being 24 years old I somehow went from thinking this would only cost about $7k to it actually being more like $30k. I wanted everything to be done right and did not want to skimp or take shortcuts. I will most likely never prerunn a race. Itís going to be more of a Daily Driver that has the ability to Prerunn races, because I donít want my truck to be a poser.

Q & A Q. Why not just buy a Raptor? A. For the same reason I didnít buy a Mustang. I didnít want a Raptor. My truck may have some Raptor accents but my truck is much more purpose built and unique for about half the cost. Q. What did your truck start out as? A. 2005 Fx4 Supercab 5.4L V8 Triton Q. I noticed that you had the SVT wheel packaged but replaced it, why? A. The previous owner had the SVT wheel package installed. I donít like the Idea of having SVT Emblems and stickers on a none SVT truck. It makes me feel like a poser. Q. Why do this build on a 4x4 instead of a 2x4? A. When I purchased the truck I had no plans to do a prerunner build it just kind of happened so I worked with what I had?Q. Will you retain 4x4? A. Yes. I am not sure how it will work out but I would love to be able to race with 4x4 at speeds of 100MPH. Just so I have more control of the truck.
